    Default Sidecar help needed

    My dad has a 1949 Sunbeam S7, he has fully restored the bike over the last 30 years, but unfortunatley he sold the sidecar years ago (for £2!!!).

    To make life easier for him, i am looking for a sidecar to fit the bike.

    But i would prefer it to fit in with the original one he used to have for it.

    We have looked at Watsonian etc, but they all seem to modern.

    This is a picture of the original Sunbeam sidecar.

    If anyone can give any info on where to find one similar, it would be greatly appreciated!!

    I know someone on here had a sidecar for an S7 they had bought, but he hasn't answered any pm's!!

    Classic motorcycle and classic bike are the mags to get. Sidecars advertised regularly in both. Not sure if they are online but I am sure you can look as i cant be bothered. .

    I have tried "On the Beam" but it is not a big online community.

    Will look into the classic bike mag thing, and have already made a start.

    Did think of god, but his did look a little too modern. (could be wrong though).
